If you have any questions for me, about anything, post them here!

Was there any moment or anything in particular that led you to become a conservative?

@Tyler Zed There hasn’t really been a platform to put the meme’s, from the reddit page, is this going to be used here for that?

My daughter lives in Des Moines. It seems like half the people I meet there is from Minneapolis. They call it Des Apolis or something. Is that something you see?

@1 Greenhorn Yes we want to share memes here! We've got the <#707963490526298112> channel set up and have talked about creating multiple channels for memes (non-political, dark humor, etc) but we'll see how the one channel goes first

> Was there any moment or anything in particular that led you to become a conservative?
@Downskated Great question. I'd say the thing that had the greatest influence on my political compass was my time in the military. Specifically seeing how a big bureaucracy works and how inefficient things can be with so much red tape. Smaller government is the only answer!

@Steve714 I do know a few people from here that live in Des Moines who are from Minneapolis. I have never heard it called that though!

@Tyler Zed I hate to tell you that they can get way worse, a naval procurement officer created a flowchart to show what goes into acquiring a aircraft carrier it looks like a spider's web.
It gets even worse when you consider the military will do stuff not even remotely in its own best interest.

This one is particularly fascinating, especially if you're into the AR-15 family at all

Wrong place for this stuff

It's in response to what Tyler said about his time in the military and I was giving examples of government bureaucracy to further illustrate his answer

@[TDE] Smokie who are you??

👀

Just a bear in the woods

> @[TDE] Smokie who are you??
@RoyandTracieRusch Smokie is one of the mods on the channel and helped set this whole thing up. I think he meant wrong thread/channel for the examples, not necessarily that it was wrong to post.

Correct

How do you feel with broadcasting companies removing shows like Cops, LivePD, and even talks about removing paw patrol?
And second question, how do you feel about US soccer players now being allowed to kneel during the national anthem?

Q1 I think it's just stupid shit

Q2 they shouldn't be playing of they're not proud of the country

it might make a good 51st state.. hehe

Hey Tyler any chance with you opening a subscribestar, some of us actively avoid patreon

We are setting up the donate bot for that

@Tyler Zed

**Question:**
Have you watched any of **John Doyle**’s videos? He seems to be a fellow no nonsense conservative who has the backbone not to just call out the left, but also Republicans who don’t stand for true conservatism

Yes, he's actually my favorite political channel on YouTube at the moment

He's alright. Rants a bit too much for my taste

I enjoy rants to an extent. Primarily because I rant frequently.

I think he often makes pretty polished videos, only the recent 42min was a true “rant”. Usually it’s a structured 8-12 min of news/commentary

What do you think of John Stossel?

Has anyone heard about this news that possibly BLM is a financial pyramid scheme? Candace Owens tweeting about it...

theres widespread claims and accusations that antifa and other protest groups recieve funding, and a pyramid scheme would be the best way to ensure you get a strong following.

its plausible, but im not the kind of person to believe something without some hard evidence to back it up

Me too

you'd think were it the case it wouldnt be that difficult to try to join up for the sake of uncovering it

There’s some suggestion that it is operating as a charity but isn’t registered with the IRS

not sure how long they might expect you to be involved before you get accepted into the paid ranks tho :/

It seems pretty clear that theres some funding and more organization than whats publicly apparenty

Most of this stuff is over my head but if the accusations are out there I trust it will be investigated

theres your first mistake

I do have a basic understanding of how charities operate though

whos gonna investigate it?

maybe an independent news group, which will then be marked as hate speech by the NAACP

Well if there’s financial crimes IRS loves taking money

It’s not wise to mess with them

yeah thats fair

i would love to see the IRS get involved

surprised trump hasnt tweeted about it yet

Lol

There’s so much crazy shit going on I’m honestly feeling scared for our future

if there ever was a time to be concerned its now

dont let them fear monger you though

At work it’s noticeable, Jesus even my nieces 8th grade graduation was political

instinct takes over and often clouds your judgement

the problem is if Trump tweets about it and the allegations fall apart under a microscope, trump would be blamed for spreading misinformation so he's proudly holding back until it is confirmed. And if the IRS gets involved, it would be considered to be being used for political reasons

It would have to be an air tight case

ive followed politics more and more closely over the better part of a decade, the shift was very fast IMO, from what i would consider normal politics, to what we have now where its common to vilify your opposition and try to discredit them rather than debate differences in values and find common ground

He surprises me sometimes because he’s still careful even though he seems not

They are owned by Act Blue, a literal dnc funding org

Here

career politicians spit in the face of democracy

We need limits

how can you expect to have proper representation by people who've never lived 99% of the walks of life of avg americans?

politics was a public service, a duty as a citizen of your country, now its a lucrative career.

its no wonder why its gone this way

It all makes me sick to my bones

I can’t speak out ever at work - I know I’ll get let go

The only choice I have is to be silent and vote

oh boi i'd be the dumbass to do it just to sue them

political beliefs are not a legit reason for termination

I’d love to but I’m the breadwinner for my family I can’t risk my income

F

yeah see thats the major issue thats allowed the current state of liberalism to take over the public. In general, conservatives make up a large chunk of the practical working class, and are generally more career and family focused.

thats why you dont see near as much protesting from conservatives, working and providing for your family is more important

There needs to be a centrist political party

of course this means they have free reign to dominate the surface level understanding, which is what the large majority of people have with regards to political understanding. most people arent that interested in it, but yet still hold very strong opinions on it,

I hope the libertarians grow more and take from the moderate dems

its been happening

slowly

Or the idea of career politicians is defaced

Did you see Tim Pool recently bought his first firearm?

That’s what the numbers say yes - it’s been a slow creep

Libertarian ideals are the only way society can function

@N00T yeah, I watched that

hes what a lot of moderates are feeling right now

theyre starting to feel alienated by the current state of liberalism

Yeah

Problem is now that republicans are turning into vote red no matter the head

im not sure if you can say that though

That is very dangerous there are lots of swampy republicans

Lots of swampy republicans

when the opposition fields such utter garbage how could you not vote for trump?

The problem is that there is only dem and rep. There needs to be a centrist party

Biden says that his VP choice is important because she has to be ready to be president - a quote

It’s insanity

Yeah

we have multiple parties here in canada, trust me, its not that easy

How can anyone vote for that?
